URonald noNancy Reagan malunga ne-1981 (Wikimedia) Sele ingaphezulu kweminyaka engama-25 okoko uRonald Reagan wayishiya iNdlu yeWhite House nangaphezulu kweminyaka elishumi ukusweleka kwakhe. Ukongeza kokushiya i Ilifa ekusaxoxwa ngalo , UMongameli Reagan usadlala indima enkulu kunobomi kwiqela leRiphabhlikhi, ngakumbi kwi-GOP kaMongameli. Kunyulo ngalunye ukusukela oko u-Reagan washiya i-ofisi, abaviwa babonisa ngesiqhelo Kutheni le nto ingabona baseReaganesque . Ngaphandle, okanye mhlawumbi ngenxa yoku, uMnu Reagan uhlala ekhunjulwa kakubi. NjengoMongameli, wayehlukanise kakhulu kwaye ephikisana kunokuba ingxelo yeRiphabhliki yaseReagan ibonisa. Wayengathandwa kakhulu ngabaninzi ngasekhohlo, kwaye, njengabongameli abaninzi, ukuthandwa kwakhe kuyehla kwaye kwahamba.
Ngaphandle kokuncoma amaRiphabhlikhi ahlala egxila kwimicimbi yerekhodi kaMnu Reagan abavuma kakhulu kuyo, kubandakanya irekhodi lakhe elichasene norhulumente kunye nxamnye nerhafu, ukusika iinkonzo zentlalo kunye nobulukhuni bakhe kwimicimbi yezokhuselo nokhuseleko. Impumelelo yezopolitiko kaMnu Reagan yayixhomekeke kakhulu kunoko; ubungangamsha bakhe bezopolitiko babonisa ukuba ngelo xesha yayiziimbono ezilumkileyo kakhulu nehlekisayo, ithemba kunye noncumo. Okubangela umdla kukuba, oku kwaba yinyani ngakumbi njengoko ekhulile, kwaye kwabonakala ngakumbi ngexesha lobongameli bakhe kunakwiminyaka esibhozo eyirhuluneli yaseCalifornia.
Njengo-Mongameli, uMnu. Reagan waphazamisa abagxeki bakhe, kwaye ngaphandle kwempikiswano ye-Iran-Contra, phantse wayehlala ebonakala ezithembile kwaye enethemba. Ezi ziimpawu oosopolitiki baseRiphabhlikhi namhlanje abazityesheliyo ngelixa bezama ukulinganisa owayesakuba nguMongameli.
Abagqatswa abanjengoTed Cruz, uScott Walker okanye uMarco Rubio babonakala beqinisekile kwizimvo zabo kodwa abadlulisi ukuzithemba kwaye baveze izimvo zabo, kwaye ngokwabo, kuluntu lwaseMelika ngendlela engenzi ukuba abantu bazive ngathi izinto zingangcono. Ukuxela, uMnu.Walker uhlala, kwinjongo yokubonisa abavoti ukuba ungumntu oqhelekileyo (kwaye onzima), wakhumbuza abavoti ukuba ukhwele iHarley . U-Harley Davidson yinkampani elungileyo yaseMelika eyenza iibhayisikile ezinkulu, kodwa zezona zithuthi zisemthethweni zabantu abakumgangatho ophakathi, abakumgangatho ophakathi, indoda engakhuselekanga yaseMelika, kwaye akusekho, isithuthi sabavukeli. Ngamafutshane, uMnu.Walker ukhwele iHarley kuba yena kufuneke . URonald Reagan wayekhwele ihashe kuba wayenako.
Imvakalelo ebibonakala ngokucacileyo kuyo yonke le nto iphambili ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ngumsindo, kwaye oku kukude kakhulu kubuntu obakhokelela ku-Alistair Cooke, ngo-1984, ukuba achaze uRonald Reagan njengoMongameli ohlekisayo kwimbali yaseMelika. Ukuhleka kukaMnu Reagan kwaba egculelwa ngokubanzi Ngobusuku abahlekisi kunye nabaninzi ngasekhohlo ngeminyaka yoo-1980, kodwa yanceda uMnu. Reagan waphumelela unyulo lwesizwe amabini kwaye weyisela abantu baseMelika ukuba wayengekhohlakele njengoko imigaqo-nkqubo yakhe yacebisayo. Ukuzithemba kuye kwazisa uMnu Reagan encotsheni yemfumba yeRiphabhlikhi, kodwa isimilo esihle esihlekisayo, ngokomfuziselo ubuncinci, samnyula.
Uninzi lwentsimi yeRiphabhlikhi, nangona kunjalo, iswele ubuni kunye nokuzithemba okwenze ukuba uMnu Reagan abe ngumpolitiki obalaseleyo. Abanye babagqatswa, abanjengoMnu Cruz, uMnu Walker kunye noMnumzana Paul abanaso isiqu esifanelekileyo sokwenza ukuzithemba kweReaganesque. UJeb Bush wayenokwenza iprojekti yokuzithemba, kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ukwabonakalisile uphawu losapho lakwaBush lokugculela amagama kunye nokwenza i-gaffes. UBen Carson, o-mini-surge osibekelwe kukuphakama kukaDonald Trump, ubonakala ekwabelana ngobuninzi bokubambelela kukaMnu. Reagan, kodwa akakakwazi ukuthetha ngokutyibilikayo kwimicimbi emininzi.
Umbutho weRiphabhlikhi ngekhe uphinde umfumane umntu ofana noRonald Reagan; kwaye ukukhangela enye kule ndlela yonyaka enkulu kunye ne-quirky field yinkcitha xesha. Nangona kunjalo, kulondolozo lwabantu abafuna ukubuyisa iNdlu yeWhite House, ngokuchasene nabo bafuna ukwenza ingxolo, imisebenzi yomhlaba kwiFox News okanye bazive bonwabile ngokubonisa umsindo wabo, kusekuninzi okunokufundwa ngempumelelo kaMongameli Reagan kwezopolitiko .
